Total bilirubin levels (UKB data field 30840)

INPP5D · rs542846518

What the study found

Who was studied 394,642 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.318 higher (95% confidence interval 0.27-0.37); p = 1 × 10−38.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 0% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2q37.1 — in a non-coding transcript of INPP5D.

What each result means

A/A Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Total bilirubin levels (UKB data field 30840) compared to the general population.
A/G Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Total bilirubin levels (UKB data field 30840).
G/G Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Total bilirubin levels (UKB data field 30840) — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs542846518

What is rs542846518?

rs542846518 is a single position in the genome, in or near the INPP5D gene. Published research associates it with total bilirubin levels (ukb data field 30840). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs542846518 mean I will get this?

No. Common variants like this one move a probability slightly and, on their own, rarely decide anything about one person. Nothing on this page is a diagnosis, and health decisions should be made with a clinician who can see your whole picture.

Where does the information about rs542846518 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2025, PMID:39789286. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
